Ahhh, thats easy, I got nothing. But considering I am working on the other side of the world than where my family is, that is understandable.

Santa was fantastic - and spot on time with all those other committments as well - how does he do it???
4.55m centre console poly with a 50hp 4st Honda ;D ;D ;D
Am i a happy man ;)
Christened yesterday - a mate and me went for a spin in the Tweed with a stiff early morning northerly that dropped out quickly. No fish boated for the first 45mins then went to a very reliable little spot for some plastic flicking. Hoping i would boat the first fish (it is my boat :-X) Hooked up to a beautiful flathead - to the sound of girlie squeels - got to the side of the boat - head shake - stiff drag from no maintenence after last outing and no checking on my behalf ::) - turned for a final run and was self released &gt;:( &gt;:( Lots of swearing from me and laughter from my mate who as luck would have it hooked up less then 30secs later and subsequently boated the first fish :-[ :-[. Needless to say NOT HAPPY JAN &gt;:(
That was his one and only - I hooked landed and released another 4 ::) But alas will not take the honour of boating the first fish :-/
Other than that - super happy with the new toy - it will take me another 3years to work out the matrix17 with gps :-X
Hope you all had and will continue to have a fantastic festive season with safety and loved ones - and never take anyone with you on your maiden voyage - you can then be assured of boating the first fish ;)
Take care everyone and have a great couple of days ;)

Santa's real,
Don't worry. Derek's just upset cause every X-mas eve when he leaves some of his muffins out with a glass of milk, he awakes to find the milk has been drunk and the pantry raided, but the muffins are still untouched. Sorry Derek, I mean scones, not muffins. ;D ;D [smiley=laugh.gif] [smiley=laugh.gif]
But the way Derek, could you contact the powers that be and ask them to kill off these little santas that raided the site. It's 3 hours till Boxing Day and 'Bahh Humbug'! [smiley=brood.gif]

Got a couple of good books and the obligatory toiletries and shirts & shorts. Best Christmas present by far came in mid-October in the form of a brand new baby boy. After a rocky pre-delivery road, he now goes from strength to strength. He already has a seat reserved in the boat for times to come. Being his first Christmas, he scored big time; and we've only hit one set of doting Grandparents so far, with the secondary raid sometime Monday. Anyway, I've got the boat and the fishing gear already; the BOY is the best present I've ever received. I've already put an order in for a Sister for him, but I doubt that would be under next year's Christmas Tree.

Cheers,
NICK.

Got a Garmin GPS 60cs.
Now all i need is some Ausfisher out their to sell me their other unlock code for Australian version Garmin Mapsource City Navigator, you are allowed to legally install it on two GPS's and most people only have 1 so I am happy to pay half the going rate, and I am also looking for the Bluechart but I am not sure if that can be installed on two or not.
If anyone can help PM me.
(Or if anyone knows where you can buy them at a discount, I have never seen any on special and I have been looking for the last 2 months ever since I got the heads up from Santa as to what I was getting foe Xmas ;)

Perfect for trolling around the headland or cruising over to bustad head or heading up the estuarys, or bottom bashing the trawler wreck!!

Just remember only 362 days and it all happens again. ;D ;D

Time was once explained to me as being a percentage of your total experience. When you are 5 years old from Christmas to Christmas is one fifth of your total experience, a LONG time.

When you are 50 it is only one fiftieth of your total experience so it is a much shorter period of time and goes SO MUCH QUICKER!

I got a few presents as per usual.

Also got a f**kin big hole in the bank account courtesy of my wife and her family. It's a big family and they just 'must' buy a nice present for every single one of them.

I'm sure my wife was in a 2 month long frenzy.

I held out until the 23rd - when I went shopping for 2 hours for her present and my mum/dad.
